Handy tip with the upgraded PDK shield, is that the orb bonus applies when blocking. If you have improved shield bash, you don’t lose blocking bonuses when making a shield bash – the game treats *any* shield bash as granting you the benefits of actively blocking, even those that come as part of the attack chain, so as you fight you’ll be getting a constant on/off of extra saves & energy resistance (plus presumably blocking DR).
Also, on a paladin especially i’d suggest throwing a devotion augment into it, since that’ll make it a spellcasting implement meaning you’ll get at least an extra 24 universal spellpower, or higher if you have any effects boosting the enhancement bonus… i find fire is another good option too (depending on gear layout) since that’ll boost consecration if you like running in divine crusader.
Thanks Fuzzy! Very helpful tip! Imma use it!
